Brave And Beautiful Is Who You Are Poem by Mark Heathcote

Brave and beautiful is who you are.
With your voice trembling like a neon star
Your eyes are the ovals of a spinning world.
A war dove of peace - Footsore
A symphony of love unfurled
An audacious spirit not yet quite disheartened
You have an indomitable self-belief.
And yet you are as apprehensive as a falling leaf.
With journeys still to take uncharted
How I wish I could bring the elapsed autumns plodded.
Back to life, after we've parted 40 years morescore.
